hmmm... there are others there, too, but...
indeed... i would have to look them up... they arn't stored in my mind...

We soon will have two registers of pipes made by J. Verbeeck and I have
lots of books from both (J. Verbeeck & Jan van Eyck)...

I know of Decap and their organs, but never visited them, although it
would have been on the way to J. Verbeeck...
Bjorn, do you know if they sell books only, too?
There's lots of great music on their organs... would be interesting for
our organs (48-key/66-key)...

If anyone prefers the french sound (Gavioli/Limonaire):

    Manufacture de Limonaires
    Marc & Christian Fournier
    Chemin de la Gardière, Seyssuel
    F-38200 Vienne

For they changed Phone-numbers in France, I`ve no number which is up to
date, sorry...
As far as I know, they also use electronics/chips, but for I'm prefering
the traditionnel cardboard-books, I can't give you any details...
